We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Can anyone estimate how much money would I spend for 150TB storage of hard drives? Like the minimum money (if i buy these hard drives in sale) and maximum money ( if i buy these hd in undiscounted price)?

Do you recommend doubling this 150TB to save trouble from corruption/hd failures? Thank you in advance.

There's a $260 per 20TB HDD from Newegg right now.

It's insane how it's constantly this low
